Subtitled "A Reply to Dr. Karl Popper's Refutation of Marxism," this work is certain to draw a good deal of attention from students of contemporary philosophy. A trenchant and well-reasoned reply to the critics of Marx, the book pays special attention to the polemics of Professor Popper in his famous Open Society and Its Enemies. The central theme concerns the alleged "historicism" of Marx, and in this connection the author deals both with abstract questions of logic and the dialectic and with more concrete problems of democracy, freedom and socialism. The great significance of this work is that it pits a major Marxist writer, for the first time in English, against Dr. Popper, whose views form the philosophical basis for the widely-accepted assault on Marxism by Western social science.
